large size printing

[puppet]

what is the best way to use a laser A4 printer to print out

a 1meter square drawing view of a model which is 1:1.



i have played with some of the print options but they dont seem, efficient.

1) make the drawing 'E' size or similar

2) print using a scale of 1.00 on A paper

3) check the box for 'segmented'



make sure the drawing view is also 1:1



I always throw a few dimensions on there as well so I can verify with a ruler on the final output. If you're verifying the scale with a ruler, remember to check both directions (x and y)... some roll plotters had paper-feed systems that can produce plots that are 1:1 in one direction, but slightly different in another.

dpliskin,



Make sure you do not have based on zoom checked. You can also try a clipped plot as well with scale full and A size checked. Again make sure the based on zoom is not selected.



BTW...have you ever watched Escape from New York? I think you have a famous cousin



Good luck
